i HAVE!

---

In regards to Wikipedia, 3 things you should know about me:

1. I'm not perfect. If I've done something wrong or something that offends you, just let me know -- I most likely didn't even realize what happened! See WP:AGF.
2. I strongly believe in WP:CITE. Especially since while I'm on patrol for vandalism I end up reading through articles on unfamiliar subjects. Without the proper references and citations, there are times when it can be difficult to tell between fact and targetted vandalism.
3. I strongly believe in WP:OWN. I've run into several articles now on Wikipedia where someone believes they own the article and wont let anyone else contribute. I think this harms Wikipedia. If you feel so strongly about a topic or an article that you wont let anyone else touch it, then you contribute to the type of frustration that causes editors to turn away from Wikipedia.

Please add new topics or comments at the bottom of this talk page.

I was bold and added cellpadding to the template. — Usgnus 18:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Sir William Borlase's Grammar School

Yeah sure I'll do some work on SWBGS. It needs to be started again really. MikeyF 01:12, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:AllSaintsSchoolLogo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:AllSaintsSchoolLogo.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 82.83.101.76 07:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

My fault. Of the several dozen logo images I've uploaded for school articles, this one wasn't tagged correctly as {{PreK12-logo}}. Now fixed. --Stephane Charette 07:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Infobox: Education in Canada

I am done editing for now. Feel free to change anything. If you want me to remove things from the template or otherwise simplify it, I'd be happy to do so. I'd also be happy explaining the features so that you could edit it yourself. --Usgnus 00:03, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Question about copyvio

You did great for the most part, except you replace the copyright material with the copyvio tag. Hope this helps. Ardenn 01:54, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

The idea is, that there's an opportunity given for an area to re-write it. Ardenn 01:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Stalking

U had your account blocked once for spamming my talk page and stalking me, please don't make that happen again. Cordially SirIsaacBrock 00:32, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I replied to this on SirIsaacBrock's talk page here:

SirIsaacBrock, I'm not threatened by your repeated attempts to threaten me. You've already tried to have me marked as a vandal, and that didn't work for obvious reasons -- I'm not a vandal. Any administrator who looks up my contributions can immediately see I'm not a vandal. You bully people, you remove edits with inapropriate edit summary comments ([1], [2], [3]), you remove warnings from your talk page, and then archive the talk page hoping no-one will notice you archived "cleaned up" copies. Please play fair with everyone who contributes to Wikipedia. Please also note that users leaving you messages on your talk page is not spamming, so you leaving messages on various other talk pages telling people to stop 'spamming' when you disagree with opinions is not appropriate ([4], [5], [6], [7]). The talk pages were designed to allow people to contact each other. Please play fairly. --Stephane Charette 02:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Your about-me box

Just a thank-you: I liked it so much, I've gratuitously stolen your about-me box for my talk page as well! :) dewet|✉ 04:01, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Glad you like it. Thanks for letting me know! --Stephane Charette 05:00, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Google Web Accelerator and Autoblock

I noticed your comment over on Talk:Google Web Accelerator and posted a reply to you there, though mostly for the benefit of other GWA users who might be curious about the block. You get this note. :)

There's little that can be done to keep GWA users from being blocked on Wikipedia. Sadly, the way GWA works, it makes it nearly impossible to minimize damage on blocks and autoblocks. If you're interested in more information, I put my own experiences into a section at Wikipedia talk:Autoblock. I assume that by now you've already discovered how to keep GWA autoblocks from affecting your Wikipedia experience.

Thank you for your patience with this issue!
